Am I getting OLD!!

[CaptainSandy]

Does anyone have the same problem as me?

Whenever I fold a hand before the flop I can never remember what those 2 cards were once the flop is dealt!!!

[tictalk]

write them down on a post it easy........lol

[ForestKing]

I think tictalk is, with this new technology you can just use Word or Notepad or whichever writing program you use Who uses post its anymore? Just messing with you.

[firecutting]

Yes, i forget them most of the time but then i remember them when they pop up on the flop...

[Bobble66]

why remember them as it only makes you mad that you folded

[player001]

I try to forget..just in case I would have won the hand...that way I don't get mad at myself for folding too soon...ha ha ha

[dragon13]

like u i forget but agree with Player001 lol

[nickos1001]

i do the same.. made my self look an idiot with it once.. thought i had folded j 8 of hearts and there was a possible straight flush.. so i said so and one guys was like.. no you didn't I've got the 8.. Felt a bit of a prat.. lol..

[annalina]

lmao yay i'm not the only one
i always feel a right div when people ask me cos i never know what to say lol

[Ace_Queen]

Yes lots of times lol ... its funny how they go out of yr head once uve folded ............. well it dosnt seem tobe just an age thing lmao.........

[CaptainSandy]

Phew, thought it was the first signs of senile dimencia

[acestocash]

Ditto, on the folded cards. I figure once they are mucked it doesn't matter anyway.

Happens all the time and I thought about starting a similar thread a few weeks ago, but I forgot. lol

What makes matters worse is when you look at the flop after you folded and you're convinced you had two pairs or better, when in reality your remembering your cards from a few hands or just making them up.

That being said your mind is like a muscle and in some regards the "use it or lose it" saying certainly applies to mental acuity. So challenging yourself to remember your folded cards might improve your memory overall. Come to think of it this mental game within the game might benefit you in other ways as well like remembering where you left the car keys!

[BigA1]

I do remember the cards along with the suit. Like finley said I make it a mental challenge.(I can even remember what I had five hands ago) I have always been good with numbers all my life. It is funny that I can remember cards and numbers, but I have a very hard time with names.

[mancityjay]

youre not the only one i always have this problem. sometimes youre better off not knowing. lol.

It is a sure sign of dementia, but don't worry, it really doesn't matter, as long as you remember what's in front of you, then it's real easy to fold!
